What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Common problems we fix in Hawkedon
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Common reasons people in Hawkedon contact us include:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
Most customers in Hawkedon get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
